What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveFew studies have examined the relationship between vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in school-aged children with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). This study aimed to investigate the role of vitamin D on PTH in this population.
methodsData for this cross-sectional analysis were obtained from the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database. XGBoost and Random Forest models were employed to explore the importance of vitamin D on PTH. Multi-factorial linear regression analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and quantile regression were conducted. Sensitivity analyses, including trend regression, stratified analyses, generalized additive model (GAM), and polynomial regression analyses, were used to verify the stability of their association.
resultsThe median level of PTH in 238 children was 35.000[27.000,45.000] pg/mL, and 38.235% of participants had vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency. XGBoost and Random Forest models identified vitamin D as the most significant factor influencing PTH levels. Multi-factorial linear regression analysis revealed that lymphocytes and vitamin D were independent influencing factors on PTH. Pearson correlation and quantile regression analyses suggested that the absolute value of the correlation coefficient between vitamin D and PTH was higher than that between lymphocytes and PTH (-0.323 vs. 0.151). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the correlation stability of vitamin D and PTH.
conclusionIn the CMPA school-aged children, 38.235% exhibited vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency. Vitamin D level was significantly and independently related to PTH levels.
